New £1.1m NHS facility in the centre of Hinckley opens

It has ten treatment rooms and two large treatment gyms.

Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust (LPT) have created a new base within the Hinckley Hub on Rugby Road.

It has ten treatment rooms and two large treatment gyms.

They will offer space to treat children and adults with physiotherapy and occupational therapy.

The space is the permanent successor to a portable building which was located on Mount Road, Hinckley. That was demolished two years ago to make way for another NHS project.

The new space is larger, brighter, and more accessible. It has a comprehensive set of patient hoists for those who need them, and is fully accessible to wheelchair users.

Around 5,000 adult physiotherapy patients a year are expected to use the facility, along with 550 children, many of whom will receive multiple appointments for physiotherapy and occupational therapy across the year.

Angela Hillery, chief executive of Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust, said: “Our part of the hub is bigger, brighter, dryer, and more accessible than what went before. I am confident it will be the place where we deliver high quality healthcare for many years to come.”
